Because making it took up all my editing time this week today we have a GBA Extra in place of the usual episode. It's 15 minute montage of extracts that represent the 2011 output of Getting Better Acquainted. It in no way is a best of, so many wonderful moments and people were cut for reasons of time, it is designed to communicate how the show is different from what you might hear on the radio. Because it's short it gives you time to catch up on episodes you might have missed. There will be 2 more GBA Extra's on Friday to make up for the lack of full length episode this week. Below is the "Commendation Document" and the Track List that went with the nomination. *** Commendation document: Dave Pickering / Getting Better Acquainted SRA nominated writer Dave Pickering produces the weekly podcast Getting Better Acquainted. This nomination is a series of extracts from the first 36 episodes of the show, selected to illustrate the range of topics and types of conversations he’s captured. Each week, Dave gets better acquainted with someone he knows. It’s an autobiography through personal connections, an oral history snapshot of a group of interconnected people and a series of startlingly intimate conversations about what it is to be human. It’s like eavesdropping on a scene late in a party where two people are really getting to know each other. There are lots of shows about famous people; this is a show about the rest of us. GBA takes advantage of the internet, not just as a way to distribute material, but as an interactive experience offering listeners the opportunity to explore playlists out of sequence. The episodes are carefully edited for flow, pace and clarity while maintaining the illusion of real time. They are hyper-realism; microphones being moved or planes flying overhead remind us that this moment actually happened. The rough-and-ready nature of the recording is integral to the show as it aims to go where microphones rarely go. *** Track Listing: Dave Pickering / Getting Better Acquainted 0.00: Episode theme (episodes usually begin with a cold open, which is a short highlight from within the episode, followed by this theme.) 0.21: Opening of http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-29-matt: Matt works for a religious charity and he went to university with Dave.
